The @aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service package is part of the AWS SDK for JavaScript. It allows developers to interact with the Amazon Elasticsearch Service, enabling them to create, configure, and manage Elasticsearch domains, as well as perform various operations related to Elasticsearch clusters.

What are @aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service's main functionalities?

Create Elasticsearch Domain

This feature allows you to create a new Elasticsearch domain with specified configurations such as domain name, Elasticsearch version, and cluster configuration.

const { ElasticsearchServiceClient, CreateElasticsearchDomainCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service');

const client = new ElasticsearchServiceClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });

const params = {
  DomainName: 'my-domain',
  ElasticsearchVersion: '7.10',
  ElasticsearchClusterConfig: {
    InstanceType: 'm5.large.elasticsearch',
    InstanceCount: 2
  }
};

const run = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await client.send(new CreateElasticsearchDomainCommand(params));
    console.log('Domain created:', data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error creating domain:', err);
  }
};

run();

List Elasticsearch Domains

This feature allows you to list all the Elasticsearch domains in your account.

const { ElasticsearchServiceClient, ListDomainNamesCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service');

const client = new ElasticsearchServiceClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });

const run = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await client.send(new ListDomainNamesCommand({}));
    console.log('Domains:', data.DomainNames);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error listing domains:', err);
  }
};

run();

Delete Elasticsearch Domain

This feature allows you to delete an existing Elasticsearch domain by specifying its domain name.

const { ElasticsearchServiceClient, DeleteElasticsearchDomainCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service');

const client = new ElasticsearchServiceClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });

const params = {
  DomainName: 'my-domain'
};

const run = async () => {
  try {
    const data = await client.send(new DeleteElasticsearchDomainCommand(params));
    console.log('Domain deleted:', data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error deleting domain:', err);
  }
};

run();

Description

AWS SDK for JavaScript ElasticsearchService Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.

Amazon Elasticsearch Configuration Service

Use the Amazon Elasticsearch Configuration API to create, configure, and manage Elasticsearch domains.

For sample code that uses the Configuration API, see the Amazon Elasticsearch Service Developer Guide. The guide also contains sample code for sending signed HTTP requests to the Elasticsearch APIs.

The endpoint for configuration service requests is region-specific: es.region.amazonaws.com. For example, es.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. For a current list of supported regions and endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints.

Installing

To install this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service using your favorite package manager:

npm install @aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service
yarn add @aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service
pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service

Getting Started

Import

The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands. To send a request, you only need to import the ElasticsearchServiceClient and the commands you need, for example ListDomainNamesCommand:

// ES5 example
const { ElasticsearchServiceClient, ListDomainNamesCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service");

// ES6+ example
import { ElasticsearchServiceClient, ListDomainNamesCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service";

Usage

To send a request, you:

Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
Initiate command with input parameters.
Call send operation on client with command object as input.
If you are using a custom http handler, you may call destroy() to close open connections.

// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new ElasticsearchServiceClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = {
  /** input parameters */
};
const command = new ListDomainNamesCommand(params);

Async/await

We recommend using await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
} finally {
  // finally.
}

Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => {
    // process data.
  },
  (error) => {
    // error handling.
  }
);

Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:

client
  .send(command)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  })
  .finally(() => {
    // finally.
  });

Callbacks

We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.

// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
  // process err and data.
});

v2 compatible style

The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript

import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-elasticsearch-service";
const client = new AWS.ElasticsearchService({ region: "REGION" });

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.listDomainNames(params);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
}

// Promises.
client
  .listDomainNames(params)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  });

// callbacks.
client.listDomainNames(params, (err, data) => {
  // process err and data.
});

Troubleshooting

When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).

try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
  console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
  /**
   * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
   * You can access them by specifying exception names:
   * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
   *     const value = error.specialKeyInException;
   * }
   */
}
